I'm writing a piece where I want 10 chords played during 48 seconds but the duration of each chord should be different. So I'm trying to figure out a way to divide 48 into 10 unequal parts, I think using random numbers should be the best way but the difficulty is to get 10 random numbers wich summed give 48. Since I'm not expert at math maybe someone can help me. I want to do this operation with other numbers, therefore a pd patch would be great.
Should those numbers be _all_ different ?
Note that if you sum 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10, that's already 55. How many time units do you have per 48 seconds ? (do you have a base tempo at all ?)
And then what do you want the distribution to be like ? Is there any maximum duration of a chord, minimum duration of a chord, etc ?
